better work-life balance than larger consulting firms - Analyst First Annapolis Employee Review

Always busy, and good management

Nothing out of norm in dealer industry

Probably the top payments advisory firm in the world. There is so much knowledge inside the building I don't understand why every payments firm in the industry is not breaking down the doors of this place to get a glimpse of what's inside! Lots of interaction with clients. Senior members of the firm actually listen to opinions of junior employees and try hard to make the analyst life a worthwhile experience - is a two way street though - must give to get. A true open door policy with senior professionals.

Very small firm - at times can feel like a family business, which is good and bad. Star performers hog all the top notch assignments. Is very much an up or out culture. Senior management will not be forthcoming with performance reviews and analysts must be very assertive to become aware of how they are performing and read between the lines. Personal benchmarking to peers is key to success. The senior professionals seem to enjoy watching the junior analysts compete with each other.
